Marilyn Guerrero loved to dance in the theater and in contests

Marilyn Guerrero was born in Buga (Colombia) although in her heart there are two countries when she was 11 years old she moved to live in Spain with her parents and brother. She was always a happy girl who loved theater and dancing at Contests. While in her senior year of high school, she got pregnant and though at 18 it was quite a challenge. The support of her family and her conviction of being a single mother led her to give a different direction to her dreams. She decided to study to be a teacher in a kindergarten and at the same time she worked in a pizzeria. Later, she began her career as a teacher of early childhood education at the university, but on the way she realized that she did not agree with the educational system in which her son is being educated and she is training.

He arrived in Ireland in August 2018. While looking for work and housing, he separated from his son for 4 months. Once everything was achieved, he met with him, he could not imagine everything that would happen. For bad decisions and the lack of a contract. He ended up in a hotel for homeless families. It seemed incredible to her that there was this kind of care on the part of the government. During her time there, she learned about resilience, multiculturalism, empathy and that feeling of family when it was seen in the eyes of other empowered women full of dreams. And although anxiety sometimes knocked on the door of room 11.

His goals and his son’s smile as he ran through the corridors looking for his friends. It made him remember that the magic was in each place in the kitchen ladies who lovingly gave you breakfast or the Good Morning Faces of the receptionists. For her that was paradise but she never gave up to have her own paradise and after 1 year and 5 months and more than 100 interviews she found it near her work and her son’s school. Since then, his life has changed. Now she is dedicated to her English classes, positive psychology and mindfulness, combining it with her work and modeling without forgetting her most important role: working to be her best version for herself and her son.
